A gift for mum and dad that they will keep for years is a personalised book in which they are the heroes, with their children beside them. You make it on Vivlary from the photos and names of the people who will be in it: you choose the topic and the look, see a free preview, and then choose the digital book or the printed hardcover.
The pictures are artistic likenesses made with artificial intelligence from the photos, not photographs. The story is written for your family on a frame that our team wrote and checked, with the help of AI, and the names go on the pages as you typed them.
What gift for mum and dad should I choose?
A mum and a dad do a great deal without saying so: the light left on until you got home, the snack in the school bag, the drive with no destination. A personalised book can say it for you, page by page: a gift for mum that stays in the house after the celebration is over.
Whether you want a Mother's Day gift, a Father's Day gift, a name-day present, a birthday present or something for a Sunday with no occasion, the book fits. It has 24 pages, with your dedication on the first.
Gift for mum: the topic For mum
The topic For mum is a thank-you for the light that stayed on until we got home, for the snacks with a note inside and for everything she did without ever saying so. For a gift for mum, start straight from the topic For mum.
In this personalised book, a gift for mum, she is the first person, the one the story is written for. Then you add her children: for each you give an age group or “18 and over”, and the story knows how each one is related to her. Grandchildren, brothers and sisters and the family pet can come too, and the pet stays an animal in the story.
The topic suggests watercolour with the Rose palette and the Handwritten typeface, which feels like a letter from someone dear. Every choice can be changed.
Gift for dad: the topic For dad
The topic For dad has the shoulders that lifted us up high, the jokes only he finds funny and the drives that never needed a destination. A gift for dad starts from the topic For dad and follows the same path: dad is the first person, then his children and grandchildren.
And if you want a gift for mum or dad with a different story, there is the topic A big thank-you, for parents, grandparents and godparents, with a yard that is always open.
A gift for mum with the child as the hero?
When the hero of the personalised book should be a child, there are children's topics for the parents' days. Mother's Day tells of a child with three coins and a button in the piggy bank, thinking up a present no shop can sell. Father's Day tells of Dad's shoulders, from where you can see the sea, the rooftops and the birds.
Both exist for every age group: 0–2, 3–5, 6–9 and 10 and over. A dad can make the Mother's Day book with the child's photos and give it to mum as a Mother's Day gift from the child, and a mum can do the same for Father's Day. A child's photos are given by a parent or guardian, or by someone with their permission.
A digital or printed gift for parents?
A printed personalised book suits a gift for parents that will sit on their bookshelf: a hardcover, 21 × 29,7 cm, at €43.40 with VAT, with the digital book included. The digital book, at €12.40, is read online in your account, and if you start with it you can order the printed one later and pay only the difference. See the prices.
Before the printed book is made, you see the complete digital book and approve it. The delivery cost and time are shown before you pay, and for Mother's Day, Father's Day or a name day, allow time for printing and post.
Photos are used only for your book, never to train AI and never in adverts, and they are deleted automatically: the details are on the photos page. The steps for making the book are in our guide to a personalised book.
